tragedian, comes to this city he always
finds time to visit Greenmount Gene

carriage and carries with him several
beautiful floral designs. The old gar
dener at Greenmount knows the actor
well, and is literally paid for his work
in keeping the Booth lot in order. Mr..
Booth always greets him kindly, and
together they proceed to the lot which
is in secluded part of the large ceme-
terry. Mr.. Booth lays the flowers ho
has brought on the graves of his mother
and sister; examines carefully the con-
dtion of the lot; gives orders about the
planting of flowers and keeping in
order OF the place, and then, after II
short while spent in sad reveries, re-
enters his carriage and returns to the
city. A plain but handsome monu-
ment marks tho resting place Of the
Booth family. 1t stands in the center
